I had a Camry that had been stolen when it was my grandmother’s, so there were separate keys for the doors and the ignition. Once when the battery was failing, I had to stop at the store quickly and didn’t want to risk needing a jump, so I left the key in the ignition, took my other keys with me, and locked the doors.…

I’m replying super late but I feel compelled to say I never thought you were judging her - your story was actually great without being judgey. I think we all have those moments of feeling impossibly dumb. (:

I feel for this waitress. I did this once in elementary school - I was CONVINCED I had the right math answer, got up from my seat to demonstrate, realized I was wrong while I was standing at the blackboard, got flustered, went back to my desk, and tripped getting back into my chair.

I was lamenting about the quality of the mac and cheese I made last night. (I was tired. Things went wrong.)

My tired, uncaffeinated brain read “Southern Bastards”.

I had a coworker who, upon finding out that I was a vegetarian, asked me if I ate some particular kind of fish. I said no, and chalked it up to people like your coworker. Then he asked if I ate bread, and I realized he was just an idiot.

I like the idea of writing down what I’ve done instead of what I need to do, and the tactile feel of actual paper and pen is appealing too. At work I have to track how much time I spend on each project, and writing it down like this would definitely help with that too.

This beauty mask is enriched with mineral-laden silt carried down from the high mountains by the Jamuna river in Bangladesh. These clarifying clays will absorb toxins from your pores and give your skin a healthy glow. [insert picture of young Indian woman smiling]

Apologies on behalf of the state I live in. There are sane people in Florida too and we are as baffled as you are.

Either nachos or quesadillas, made with similar fixings: refried black beans, sauteed red bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms, a blend of pepper jack and cheddar cheese. Served with guacamole (avocado, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, green onion).

Hmm, I think this might be good for my dog. He's a terrier, so his "seek and destroy" setting is high, and he's pulled stuffing out of 3 dog beds. (I'm planning on sewing a cover that I can fill with old towels, so he can chew it but won't find a stuffing jackpot and then hopefully he'll leave it alone.) He doesn't…

I just finished making a plan to pay off my credit card debt, using a combination of the snowball and stack methods. (Not including student loans in the plan, since that's a lower rate and I'm going to wait to increase that payment until the credit cards are paid down.)

I have a copper IUD. I'm not gonna lie, the heavier periods and especially the worse cramps were pretty frustrating for the first several months. It's been over a year now and it's not as bad anymore.

Excellent advice, and I needed it today. I've been thinking about getting a gym membership, but I've been hesitant to spend the money. Now if I look at the choices I'm making, I eat out a lot, and that means I'm actively spending money, often to the detriment of my health. If I choose the gym instead and cut out the…

BCO always makes me want to write a post of thanks to servers everywhere. Today I'm actually going to do it because we moved to our new apartment over the weekend and ate out a few times. We were tired, wearing grungy clothes, and I was in a grumpy mood because many things have gone wrong throughout the moving process.

I think I need to build this desk. Having notebooks and various things right there is amazing. *makes note to talk to dad about desk building*

I just started a new job and I've realized that I've worn the same things every week for the past month, which gives me a great place to start. I have a gender-neutral everyday style, so my chart will look more like a combination of the women's and men's, with more button-down shirts and fewer skirts.

I have friends who deliberately choose Papa John's. Not just over Domino's, but over Five Star Pizza, a Florida (?) chain that actually is pretty good. I don't even know what is going on with that. You actually want sugar sauce? and weird bread? and cheese-like-substance?

A fresh pot of tea and a change in music to one of my favorite albums to listen to straight through is a good way for me to switch tasks and get down to business on something that isn't the most fun and might take a while.

I left a job where I was working with a good friend for a better paying job. The work itself was fine, and the people were nice, but I would go all day without saying more than "good morning" to my coworkers. There was no sense of camaraderie in the office, and that sense of isolation increased my already existing…
